Eleven people were taken to hospital after a rogue wave hit a whale watching boat on the Gold Coast today.
A police spokesman said the wave hit the vessel about 9.40am (AEST) as it was heading east at the Southport Seaway, causing it to lift.
Several passengers hit the deck heavily, while News Ltd reported that one man was washed overboard.
The passengers were treated onboard as the vessel returned to the Marina Mirage wharf where they were met by water police and ambulance officers.
A 14-year-old boy suffered a suspected broken leg while others were treated for minor injuries.
Investigations into the incident are continuing.
